Abstract

Let G1,...,GnG_1,...,G_n be graphs on the same vertex set of size nn, each graph with minimum degree δ(Gi)≥n/2δ(G_i)\ge n/2. A recent conjecture of Aharoni asserts that there exists a rainbow Hamiltonian cycle i.e. a cycle with edge set {e1,...,en}\{e_1,...,e_n\} such that ei∈E(Gi)e_i\in E(G_i) for 1≤i≤n1\leq i \leq n. This can be viewed as a rainbow version of the well-known Dirac theorem. In this paper, we prove this conjecture asymptotically by showing that for every ε>0\varepsilon>0, there exists an integer N>0N>0, such that when n>Nn>N for any graphs G1,...,GnG_1,...,G_n on the same vertex set of size nn with δ(Gi)≥(12+ε)nδ(G_i)\ge (\frac{1}{2}+\varepsilon)n, there exists a rainbow Hamiltonian cycle. Our main tool is the absorption technique. Additionally, we prove that with δ(Gi)≥n+12δ(G_i)\geq \frac{n+1}{2} for each ii, one can find rainbow cycles of length 3,...,n−13,...,n-1.
